The History of Middle-earth (chibi version) - Part 284 - Research and development

Random question (actually, something I saw being asked elsewhere online): Is there a canonical singular form of the Sindarin word 'Galadhrim'? ('Tree-folk', referring to the people of Lothlórien.) After some research I guessed at Galadhel ('tree-elf') but I'd be inrerested to know if it's been discussed already elsewhere and a consensus reached. The same question would go for other Sindarin nation-names like Gondolindrim and Iathrim.

Next time: Part 285: Plan B... or is it C now?

I think there is no real singular to "rim". It's just a suffix that pretty much means "the people/dwellers of" Like most things Tolkien this has been discussed many times, aafaik there's no real census. Or the census is that there just isn't a singular, like with the word "foliage" or "water", or come to think of it "people" Sure you can say leaf, drop of water(?) and person but they aren't the singular form of the mentioned words.
